I think that's fairly true. Where is the Buddhist equivalent of liberation theology?

It's called Engaged Buddhism, I thought there was one organisation named this but a quick google shows there are lots, but yes Christianity places more emphasis on this sort of thing than other religions.

I disagree. 'Myanmar' doesn't have problems - the people who live there do. And I don't think there are many bigger problems than being made homeless or being murdered.

Well I wasn't talking about the animals. When one group small group of people has total control over the rest of the population and abuses that power then I don't think we can blame "the people" as a whole. Yes there aren't many bigger problems than people being murdered, tortured etc but it's been happening everywhere in Myanmar for several decades now not just in one border region, hopefully things are starting to change.
